A Pentecostal Commentary on the Pastoral Epistles
The Pastoral Epistles throw light on the early days of the church and the final phase of Paul’s life.

Exit, Voice, and Solidarity
Downsizing, outsourcing, and intensifying performance management have become common features of corporate restructuring. They have also helped to drive up job insecurity and inequality. Under what conditions do companies take alternative approaches to restructuring that balance market demands for profits with social demands for high quality jobs?

Market liberalization and shareholder pressure pushed employers to adopt often draconian cost cutting measures, while labor unions pushed back with creative collective bargaining and organizing campaigns.
